If a man withdraws his mind from the love of beauty

“If a man withdraws his mind from the love of beauty, and applies it as sincerely to the love of the virtuous if, in serving his parents, he can exert his utmost strength if, in serving his prince, he can devote his life if in his intercourse with his friends, his words are sincere – although men say that he has not learned, I will certainly say that he has.” – Confucius quotes
